Jayne Siler wrote a letter to the editor of the Racine Journal Times. The Editor, Steve Lovejoy, would not print this. Jayne's opinion has merit so I'll be happy to publish it. This is the same Steve Lovejoy that prints every whacko theory the left comes up with, especially if there is a Koch reference.

Locally elected officials and
government employees in Racine have no end to their excuses for
incompetence.

In mind, is the June 5 recall election in the city of
Racine where the district attorney had claims of election fraud
investigated. The mayor blames the poll watchers. His sidekick cousin
Eddie, I mean Friedel, blames a shortage of workers yet Racine
routinely has one of the highest unemployment rates in the State. The
Government Accountability Board cries foul and protects incompetence.
Best yet, the City of Racine's election clerk has no idea what
happened.

Public high school students skipped school at the command of local
Democratic activist groups to go out to Democratic wards to get people
to vote. Union fist t-shirted activists showed up at polls offering
food and drink to voters. Laws say they're not allowed within 100 feet
of a polling place.

With close to 4,500 same day registrations in the City of Racine,
this amounts to 8% of eligible voters. These voters, who have no real
interest in elections in the first place, had help in deciding who to
vote for. Poll books weren't signed by voters as required by law.
Voters voted multiple times. Chief polling inspectors denied challenges
brought up by poll watchers.

Truly, incompetence reigns in Racine when it comes to elections not
to mention the lack of ethics at all levels. The GAB just writes it
off to poorly trained election workers. I would say corrupt.
